About this activity
Catered for our guests who wish to discover our ancient city on foot our guides will share their knowledge and passion for the city with you. Our Athens walking tour starts with the main feature, the famous hill of Acropolis which will definitely make your day. On this historical hill, you will have the opportunity to see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, The temple of the Athena Nike, the monumental gateway (Propylaea), the Erechtheum and of course the focal point, the Parthenon, the main temple dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena. After the Acropolis, we will head towards the New Museum of Acropolis. A brand new museum opened in 2009 to host all the findings that have been excavated on the hill of Acropolis and its slopes.

This famous treasury is also known as the museum of the senses. It is counted as one of the best museums in the world. You will be feeling hungry by now so next stop is going to be a traditional Greek tavern with authentic Greek dishes in the neighborhood of Plaka. Plaka one of the old areas of Athens full of narrow streets, old houses, cafes, restaurants, and shops. It is also known as the neighborhood of the Gods. After lunch, we will follow the famous Andrianou Street ending at the flea market (shopping area).

Continuing you will also visit the Roman Agora and the Tower of Winds and let’s not forget the ancient Greek Agora which is considered the birthplace of democracy, philosophy and free speech. While in the ancient Greek Agora you will visit the Temple of Hephaestus (the best-preserved temple in Greece standing largely as built) and a small museum house under the Portico of Attalos. After traveling with us you will have seen the ‘real Greece’ and met ‘real people’. We are content to show you the Greece we know and love. Avoiding the tourist traps. Being a traveler, not a tourist.
